The gas carrier was built under a
contract between the sides signed last year. It is 60 metres long and 11 metres
wide, capable of loading 1,200 cubic metres of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Previously, on October 23, the DQS launched
at a dry dock the Vung Tau 05, one of two multi-functional ships ordered by the
Vietnam - Russia joint venture Vietsovpetro through a 936-billion-VND (41.2
million USD) contract.

Each ship is 76 metres long and 17
metres wide, with loading and power capacity of 2,000 tonnes and 12,000 horsepower.

The Vung Tau 05 will be handed over
to Vietsovpetro in December, while the Vung Tau 06 will be ready for transfer
in late January 2018. -VNA
